If you can time it right you can punch him while he is winding up and earn stars during his his Jab or Hook. He tips off all of his punches, most notably his eyebrows twitch before throwing some blows. Honda goes through a slightly varying pattern of Left Jabs, Right Hooks, and Right Uppercuts. He's the toughest fight you have seen so far, but that's still not saying much. The Minor Circuit is your introduction to the game, and shouldn't be a problem for anyone seriously hoping to make it to the end of the game. The first championship you fight for is the Minor Circuit.

The game starts out with Little Mac and his trainer Doc Brown starting at the bottom of the boxing world. Little Mac is trained by none other than The Office's Stanley Hudson
Acting and reacting is the key to victory, so if you want to take a chance at Mike Tyson here is the path you will need to take. Since each fighter had individual strengths and weaknesses, the challenge of the game is figuring out to exploit each fighter's timing. Instead of using AI to dictate the computer, each opponent you faced was a scripted challenge. Although it was technically a boxing game, in a weird way it actually transcended normal sports titles. The game couldn't have come out much better. Right about the time of the game's release, Tyson defeated Trevor Berbick for the Heavyweight Championship of the World, quickly becoming boxing's newest and biggest star. Tyson wasn't a household name quite yet but, was signed the three year contract for the use of his likeness. At the time Tyson was a young fighter to was beating up guys about every other week. The marketing scheme was developed when the president of Nintendo of America attended a Mike Tyson fight. Nintendo wanted something to put the title over the top, their idea was to have the game culminate against a real fighter. Mike Tyson on the cover of Sports Illustated in 1986 The point of the game was to take the underdog Mac through a string of unique boxers, winning various championships along the way. Little Mac was a simple character capable of head and body punches, ducking, dodging, and a power uppercut whenever he earned a star. Mac was listed at 4'8" and 107 pounds, and hailed from The Bronx, New York. The wire framed tough guy from the arcade version was replaced with Little Mac. The main character had to be shrunk down, due to perspective issues from the Nintendo's performance limitations. The Nintendo didn't have anywhere near the graphical capabilities of the arcade version, so developers had their work cut out for them. The bottom monitor was the main play screen while the top monitor displayed fight information. The other thing that was unique was the dual monitor display.

It was a neat machine because you did fight behind a green wire frame fighter, allowing a third person perspective with full view of your opponent. The original Punch Out!! was a simplistic cartoonish version of boxing. In the mid 80's Nintendo had hoped to release a console version of the popular Punch Out!! arcade game. Note the duel monitor setup it employed that served as the inspiration of the Nintendo DS. That is nice to see, because Mike Tyson was a keystone figure in my childhood gaming experience. While unfortunately not every Iron Mike story through history is as nice as him doing a solid for a deserving young fighter being overlooked, he has seemed to have left a troubled past behind him. White changed the decision and probably rightfully gave the prize to Grant. Grant deserved the award, and the $50,000 that comes along with it. He told Dana While that he believed up and coming fighter T.J. When former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos was awarded the Knockout of the Night honors, Mike Tyson disagreed. Mike Tyson made the news a few days back when he attended the latest UFC event with the companies president, Dana White.
